38. Actitis macillaria (Linn.). XX M. of 5 (N.) L. 176- 
194, E. 334-343. W. 105-111, T. 50-57. Very abundant in 
summer, but especially in migration. Breeds in many places 
near the rivers. Newly hatched young were seen June 27, 
1883. In 1882 the first appeared April 26, a single one April 
30 and May 2. Two May 4. Many the day after. In fall 
most numerous about August 1. Some few October 10. The last 
the day after. In 1883 the first April 13. Afterward none 
before the 29th. Not many before May 5. 
39. NumenillS lllldsoilicilS Lath. On April 1, 1882, I 
saw a curlew light in a field near Wolf Kiver. I was then quite 
near. Its cry sounded to my ears like korle, Jcorle, Tcorle! When 
it flew, I saw the sun shine on the bright wing spots. Must 
probably have been this species, although King calls it “a very 
rare migrant.” A 7 ", longirostris Wils., which breeds in the 
United States, and the more northern JSf. borealis (Forst.) ap¬ 
pear not to have been seen at Shiocton, but are found elsewhere 
in Wisconsin. 
40. Cliaradriiis squatarola (Linn.). Three in the grass 
field just east of the house, May 27, 1882. Is said to be a reg¬ 
ular migrant in Brown county (W illard), but was not met with 
by King in Wisconsin. 
(41.) Cliaradriiis domillicus Mull. Gunners assert that they 
often shoot this species at Shiocton. In Brown county it is a 
regular visitor (Willard). 
42. jEgialitis YOCifera (Linn.). XX M. of 3. (N.) L. 235-258. 
W. 148-173. T. 82-101. B. 18. Breeds at Shiocton in no small 
numbers. On May 12, 1883, a nest was found beside a stump 
in a dry field. Four slightly incubated eggs. M. L. 40. B. 27. 
In 1882, the first was seen March 6. A few later in the 
month. More in April. Most about May 3, when they were seen 
in small companies. In autumn most numerous July 22. Some 
few in August, In 1883, not seen before April 9, wdien a pair 
appeared in the grass field east of the house. Seen almost daily 
after April 30. Most about May 7. l^Jore than in 1882.
